Before you start reading, stop for a moment. Take a break and think when was the last time you really lived? When you did something just for you, something that made you happy and reconnected with your inner self. It's been a while, hasn't it? If so, let's talk a little about this Forest Bathing, what it is and how it helps you. First, you need to know that it is an opportunity to take a break from everyday life, slow down and connect with nature.
We know, the daily stress takes over you, and you don't have enough time, you are in constant motion and you never reach your destination. However, remember that a day off can only bring you benefits and is an investment in yourself and your health, both physically and mentally. Poalele Tâmpei is the place that offers you the opportunity to immerse yourself in fresh air for an hour, during which you can consciously connect with nature through your senses. Let yourself be guided by your body and feel the aroma of the trees, the sunlight and the sounds of the forest. Let the fresh air purify your body.
Forest bathing is a concept spread by the Japanese. They have introduced this form of recreation into their national health program since the 1980s. Now, after many years of thorough research, we know that spending time in the woods reduces stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and even restlessness. Such activity has a strong impact on the immune system, the cardiovascular system and the metabolism. Your body will also feel a lot of other things BENEFITS following a Forest Bathing session, benefits such as:
- Strengthening the immune system.
- Decreased pulse and blood pressure.
- Decreased anxiety
- Increasing the ability to concentrate and self-confidence.
- Reducing the degree of stress at work.
- Increasing the number of cancer-fighting cells and white blood cells, reducing glucose levels in diabetics.
- Cure depression.

If you're not a big athlete, keep calm. Immersion in the forest does not require any special physical activity, such as running or special exercises, but only a simple walk and contemplation of nature, directly from its heart.
Let the forest tickle all your senses, because it has this gift. You can look and observe the trees, the colors and other details of the setting, you can smell the wood and experience the coolness of the air. Listen to the course of a river, the rustle of leaves or the song of the birds that crown the forest. Use your sense of touch, allow yourself to experience the texture of trees, moss, leaves or stones.
This concept involves a path through which you rediscover the beauty of nature and yourself. You go slower and you do it in a conscious way so that you wake up all your senses. You bring the forest as an offering all your attention and you can rest under the refreshing shade of the trees, you can wash away all your negative and noisy thoughts in the sound of smooth waters and you can do various activities that calm you down and bring you back to a state of fulfillment.
